A relaxed atmosphere with world music (African), at the taste of the day, with beautiful decorations. Unfortunately, the tables were too close to each other, so we were too close to the other customers. When we arrived at about 5:45 p.m., there were few customers, but later there were more customers to serve, the server had a lot of difficulty serving everyone, and he was moving very quickly in the restaurant space. The dishes were very tasty, but given the number of servers in insufficient quantity, so we waited very long to order another glass and dessert. The server never came back to our table, so we had to get up to order. In the middle of the evening, the cooks came to help with the service at the table. Maybe she should have helped earlier...The prices were quite expensive, but because of the discount on the 2nd plate (50%), that’s what prompted me to choose this restaurant for that evening of February 14, Valentine’s Day. I ordered a good juice but I realized it was done with powdered juice. I would have expected some real juice on the spot, though, I will not hesitate to go back, since I am very looking forward to discovering the other dishes that I haven’t had the chance to taste yet!

"ethnic" restaurant, where you will be received, as a friend of the family, to the African. each with its stain, agathe dada in the furnace, to serve you a balanced meal in flavor, color and originality. the restaurant is open on a grocery store with African products. It is the rendezvous of odors and warmth related to a mix of all origins that comes to supply it.

I love the menu offerings inspired by West and Central Africa at this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they serve Ndole (Cameroonian peanut stew). I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try authentic African cuisine.

If you're looking for a taste of West African cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit. The pros include delicious food with various meat options to choose from at an affordable price - the best value I've found in the city. The portions are generously sized, with a single plate enough to feed two people, and their freshly squeezed juices are refreshing. The only downside is that the service is a bit slow and it may take some time for your food to arrive after ordering, so it's best to order in advance.
